To touch up on my last post, I have a pretty good example.

I was watching the episode Touch and Go last night.

In this episode, you can see the depth seasons 1-5 had. Raphael spent most of the episode in the house of Mrs. M, where he sipped tea (or whatever they were drinking,) and helped her pack her stuff away.

Seasons 1-5 wasn't afraid to show the human aspect of the world they inhabitted, and I miss that. It gave the show a lot of depth, whereas season 6 (I do like FF don't get me wrong,) felt like the episodes were strictly devoted to good fighting evil.

Here are some other examples.

The Turtles carving pumpkins in All Hallows Eve, they didn't just jump into action.

The Turtles haning out and chatting it up with the homeless professor in Garbageman.

This is just some of the depth I missed in season 6. FF to me felt like the old toon, they never stopped running and gunning until the episode ended, but TMNT seasons 1-5, made me feel like the TMNT appealed to both adults and kids. Heck Raph helping out a person in need could also teach kids some lessons in life, on kindness.

If BTTS has this element returned, I will love this show 100x more then I already do, and it will feel like a return to form.
